Selling the Story

Special thanks to Jules Pieri, CEO and Co-founder of The Daily Grommet, for coming out to speak with us tonight! After working at major retail corporations, Jules mentioned that some products would never see the light of day because “companies weren’t willing to take a risk on a product that might not work out”. That is where the idea for The Daily Grommet was born, a platform where risky ideas could gain exposure and where undiscovered products were given a chance.

In following the story telling theme of The Daily Grommet, members were tasked to come up with the stories behind the objects placed at their tables.
